Ranchi: Jharkhand police on Wednesday ordered a probe into media pictures showing a police officer washing Lalu Prasad's feet before the former Bihar chief minister went inside a temple while another policeman allegedly carried Mr Prasad's slippers, a senior police officer said in Ranchi.
"The probe has been ordered by the police headquarters after publication of photographs in newspapers, showing a sub-divisional police officer pouring water from a mug on the feet of Lalu Prasad and another carrying his slippers," the police officer said.
The opposition raised the issue in the Jharkhand Assembly on Wednesday.
